Just let me know when you all can make it down and I'll head out to the track The more CZ28.com members the better! I should be able to get a few more F-body guys to head out there as well.

I know of 6 other guys right off hand. rlax31 from off the boards here should be back at school this week... and he's been wanting to go to the track. Then I have friends with a '98 Z28 'vert, '97 Firebird, '99 T/A, '96 Z28, '85 Z28.

Hopefully we can get something worked out
